TYLER THE CREATOR-SUMMER CAMP MIX #LATEPASS

Alright here is another #latepass guys! Tyler, The Creator put this summertime mix together and tweeted about it. I already knew it would be filled with N.E.R.D., since he’s a self-proclaimed stan, and I was right. But there’s also hella other goodness  (see: Toro y Moi, Grizzly Bear, James Pants, Stevie Wonder) on here that definitely sounds and feels like summertime. You can play this in your car or while you work or whatever. Get into it. The mp3 is too large to stream, but here’s a track from the mix. Full listing after the jump.

ROCK THE BELLS ANNOUNCES LINEUP FOR 20X

Looks like we got a new trend on our hands this summer. Artists have been performing the album’s that set it off for them in their entirety as of late to draw the heads to a show that the heads would normally give up on. Let’s face it. They downloading your new schitt & they give a fuck if you performing down the way way unless it’s with so n so & so n so & so n so. OR you perform the schitt that made them fall in love with you to begin with. This is where we are @. Deal with it. I aint mad either. Cuz yeah… this makes me want to go. Rumor’s say that Lauryn will be added to the bill to perform the whole Miseducation (URB went as far as droppin it on their site/zine yesterday… I call malarkey, but we’ll see, it’s still early) I also heard RUN DMC may do a few dates… I dunno. I can’t call it yet. What you think of the line up thus far tho & all the trill schitt I just spoke? Your thoughts…

Grimey – The Final Chapter. That’s right folks, when Mai & I set out to do these compilations, we had it set in mind that each collabo/comp we did would only hit 3 volumes & then we’d be on to the next one..on-on to the next one (besides y’all slept on vol.2). So this is our 3rd & final opus in the Grimey series, we will mos def come back next year with some OTHER theme, but until then put the razor blade under your tongue & stomp on the streets in your Timbo’s 1 mo’ ‘gain!
